[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart Snippets in Post Scripts

[James Hogarth]

As I recall people have said on the list that cobbler 2.0.3 has caused
problems with extra escaping needed. I have kept mine at 1.6.6 for the time
being.

Similarly there is breakage of remotely provisioned KVM guests with koan
2.0.3 and had to roll back to 1.6.6 on my KVM hosts.

These issues are a little tricky given that EPEL doesn't maintain older
versions in the repository.

If you need the older packages send me a ping and I'll mail over the
appropriate ones from my archive.
